Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-29 Fulcrum - History, Design, Performance & Dissection

Problem is BR difference between the MiG-29A and MiG-29G will be only 0.3BR after “decompression”, and the MiG-29G has the same BR as the F-15A/F-15J, M4K, and JAS39A(wtf gaijin)

MiG-29A will have same BR with F-16A Block 10 so, it is really questionable that MiG-29 with R-73+HMD would be good counterpart of Block 10s.

R-73E instead 6x R-60

But lose R-27ER1 & R-27ET1

MiG-29 (9-13) from USSR, 6x R-60 replace with R-73 but remove R-27E (R-27ER & R-27ET) like MiG-29 (9-12B)

MiG-29 9-12A & 9-12B and MiG-29G airframe lighter MiG-29 9-13 (USSR)

But MiG-29G already 2x R-73E & 6x R-73E

For 4 MiG-29 from USSR, GDR, Luftwaffe & HuAF

Some early f16s are getting 13.0 tho, Idk why they are doing that

Probably, they will gets AIM-9Ms?

F-16A Block 15 ADF with AIM-9Ms would be understandable for having same BR with some old 12.7BR jets.

Could be but idk if it would make sense for them to get 9ms while early 29s will stay with the r60 loadout

It should be 0.3 higher than block 10. Thing is MiG-29G sit in a strange spot right now, since it got to 12.7 because of its loadout, despite being one of the worst of its BR

Weak plane that loses all speed in 180* turn, and with worse maneuverability than F-16, according to gaijin.

Gaijin has his own physics. And so this is the 9-47C land version of the MiG-29KUB

And what a coincidence! The gaijin special physics say all russian aircraft must fall from sky after 1 turn, and all american jets must be rockets that never lose speed!!



One engine?


two engine

İt looked like 1 to me my bad. İ thought maybe it’s variant with 1 big engine

With AESA…

İt will not change a thing. When mig-29 with AESA is added, American aircraft with AESA will also be added. (As it should be done for balance)

But the American one will not lose speed, will turn better, will have missiles with not broken drag, faster acceleration.

I feel sad everytime I see a picture of the MiG-29

Yeah honestly with the decompressed BRs and how the Mig 29 will be 0.3br away from the F-16s, F15A, and the Gripen A. It would be ideal to give it R-73s to make it competitive. Though I wonder if removing the R27E missiles will allow it to stay at 12.7br?

Idk if limiting the R-73s to 4x would be a good idea considering its new BR placement would make it right below the F16 block 10, the F15A, and the Gripen A.

Honestly, given how insane the R-73 is at close range, a MiG-29A without the R-27E would not have the same BR as an F-16A Block 10.

To makes equal with MiG-29 with R73, they could give the AIM-9M to Block 10 as well, but if they did that they would definitely move to 12.3, the same BR as the Belgian F-16A Block 15.

In today’s update the french f16 ended up in 13.3 instead of 13.0, they prob did a mistake when making the tables. One thing that makes me sad is that probably they feel that these changes were enough for now, so they won’t touch these 4th gen for a while.
